REPORTED for the Staunton vINDIcAToR.l
GREENvILLE, AUG. 24.-Our section
was visited last Saturday evening by vi
olent storm of wind accompanied by rain
and some hail, that did considerable dam
age TO the corn. The wind blew down a
quantity of fence and a number Of trees
Mr.. j. TEN Hawpe's house, short
distance east of town, seems to have been
IL the centre of the gale. A number OF
trees. some of them sturdy oaks that have
stood the storms for years, were blown
down near the house and his barn, an I'M
usually large one, was entirely unroofed,
the wind taking off sheeting. raf-
tiers and all. Some Of the boards were car
ried half mile from the barn.
1t was our privilege on last Friday even
ing to attend an entertainment at Cold
Spring, given by the ladies and gentlemen
who are sojourning there. The programme
was made up Of charades. tableaux. reel
! tations, etc., and those who took part de-
serve a great deal of praise for the excel
lent manner in which they sustained their
| parts. Time and space do not permit US
| to notice each piece as we would libe to
| do. The charades were-"The Doctors
Sister; Or, the Inquisitive Girl" s'Too
Much Mother-in-law "'tGood Neighbors"
and 'sThe Flower of the Family" Among
the participants we remember the names
of Misses Julia Smith, Sue Smith, Lucy
Dunlap, Lou Smith, Alice Smith, Clara
Palmer, Jennie Wheat, and Messrs Walt.
Tate, Louis Bumgardner, John Waddy,
Frank Waddy, and probably others that
we do not remember. The tableaux were
Faith, Hope and Charity THE Five
Foolish Virgins" and 'Clinging to the
Cross" Miss Lillian Leathe. of R edmond,
recited "Culfew shall not ring tonight"
and Miss Wheat, of Rockbridge, recited
"Drafted.''
The impromptu stage was beautifully
decorated with ferns and evergreens and
the grounds lighted up with Chinese Ian
terms, and, everything considered, it was
one Of the most enjoyable evenings we ev-
, er spent and will long be remembered by
those SO fortunate as to be present.
There were at the Spring over two hun
cred and fifty persons on that occasion, and
after the entertainment was over the
platform was cleared off and the young
men and maidens whirled in the merry
mazes Of the dance until late hour.
1t is reported that we are to have an
other store in our village, Mr.. Melton, of
Albemarle, having rented the first floor of
the Masonic Building for store.room.
J. Thos. Hawpe, near town, has four
cattle that will, we think, weigh 5000 lbs.
The largest will weigh not less than $500.
These are the largest cattle ever raised
in this neighborhood.
Jimmie Lilley, son of Col. j. D. Lilley,
was bitten by a large water-snake few
days ago. Remedies were promptly used,
| and at last accounts the patient was get
ting along very well and will soon be him

There is good deal of sickness in the

Blanche Burnett have fever and Rob't 0.

THE NATIONAL. ASSEMBLY OF THE
TUNKER CHURCH.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE
TUNKER CHURCH.
The annual meeting of the. National
Assembly of the German Baptist (Tunker)
church of the United States will take
place in June, 1889. To give an idea of
the crowds which attend this meeting
from all parts of the country we may say
that at the meeting at Broadway, Rock
ingham, there were Il, 900 persons present;
and at Dayton. 1000; at the meeting In
Pennsylvania $4,000 to $4,000, and at OF
toway, Kansas, this year, from 1000 to
1900. The meetings generally last for
more than week. They assemble at Pen
tecost, organize on a Monday and COM
mence business on Tuesday. The meet
ing of 1889 has been fixed to be held IN
this Valley,
The committee to select site and re
port it to the National Committee in
1888 is composed of Rev. Levi Wenger of
Mt. Sidney, Rev. Samuel Driver Of New
Hope, Rev. Daniel Hayes of Shenandoah,
Rev. John P. Seigler of Rockingham, and
Rev. S. F. Sanger of Bridgewater. They
are to make their report in April next to
the next District Conference of Virginia
No. 2. which meets at Mill Greek, Book
| ingham.
! Staunton should at once communicate
with this committee. She can offer the
best facilities in the Valley for railroad
transportation. Here the G. e o. and the
B. & O. cross, and only twelve miles below
here the Shenandoah Valley has a juno
ton with the former road. The situation
| offers competition and low rates for the
| Western delegates, and this denomination
is very strong IN the West as it is in this
Valley. They hold their meetings in theil
own tabernacle which they erect for the
purpose, and our Fair Grounds would
make most excellent site for it. They
also have hotels and boarding houses cree
ted for the accommodation of those who
attend, though of course with so many
thousands there are a large number thai
cannot be accommodated in them. Staun
ton could do her share in boarding those
who are not otherwise accommodated.
This denomination is composed of clti-
zens of whom it is said that wherever
they settle they make the most useful cit
liens of the State, and that is their repu
tation in this Valley where they are nu
merous and we'll known. We hope th,
city authorities will communicate Will
the committee and offer some facilities
to induce the assembling of the meeting
here. There are already other towns com
peting for the privilege.

FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue and the TAX
ing off of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medi-
cires. no doubt has largely benefit d the consum-
ers, as well as relieving the burden of home manu-
facturers Especially is this the case with GREEN'S
august Floaoer and Boschee's German Syrup, rs
the reduction of thirty-six cents per Dozen has
been added to increase the size of the bottles
tanning these remedies, thereby giving one fftls
more medicine in the IS cent size. The Augus.
Fzolcer for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and
the German Svratp for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps the largest sale of any medicine in
the world. The advantage of increased size OF the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in civilizea
countries Sample bottles for 10 cents remain til
same size. july 29-ly

Too Much Eating and Drinking.


 An old and retired banker in New York said to me lately that he had just come from Carlsbad, where he went to have the gout treated. Said I:
 ''Is that place really influential upon the goutS''
 ''If you would go to any spot in the United States where the air was good, and submit to the same diet and exercise, you would get well just as quick The Americans go to Carlsbad and stay two months working for health; and then they go to Paris, and in two weeks, upon . good champagne spree, destroy all the benefits they have received" |"
 The same is the case even at Saratoga and our health resorts. The waters are unquestionably beneficial at that spot if taken with some regard to diet; but the Saratoga hotels are all organized upon the theory of feeding the system to the fullest. The bar rooms there for the men to re- pair to are big enough for regiment to enter. The dining rnn'ns are rrarar rad for 1000 to eat at once. Spring chicken from Syracuse, birds from the Adiron- dacks, frogs from Canada pamper up the system, and wine IS almost necessary to wash them down; 50 the waters one goes to drink have but partial effect What good Is done in the EA rning at 8 o'clock is neutralized at 10 o'clock breakfast. After that the horse race and its incidental dis sipation, the afternoon ride and the big supper at the lake and an evening given up to cards or billiards or drink, carry the invalid faster toward his grave than back from it.-Herald of Health.
